ABSTRACT
 ABSTRACT

In this project we have to analyse which medicine (Allopathy or Ayurvedic) need awareness
and giving solution by using the method in statistics called one sample Z test because there is
always a constant debate on the efficacy of medical treatments using Allopathy or Ayurvedic.
Based on the perception about medication therapy, patients either have a choice to prefer
allopathy or ayurvedic therapy. For this research, the primary data were collected by using
structured questionnaire, with sample of 160 consumers. Positive aspects from both branches
of medicines can be taken for the benefits of the patients. One sample Z test is a test that we
can measure how the expectations compared to actual observed data.
 INTRODUCTION

ALLOPATHY:
Allopathic medicine is what people know as modern or Western medicine. It is an
evidence-based system of care, which relies on data from clinical trials and studies to develop
more effective treatments.

Allopathic medicine and osteopathic medicine are similar, but their philosophies differ.
Osteopathic medicine focuses on a more holistic approach that includes the mind, body, and
spirit.

Homeopathic medicine is an alternative therapy that has little to no support from the
wider scientific community. If a person is feeling quite unwell, they should consider not using
homeopathic treatment and instead speak with their allopathic or osteopathic doctor, who will
likely suggest an effective treatment plan.

AYURVEDA:
Ayurveda (a Sanskrit word that means "science of life" or "knowledge of life") is one of
the world's oldest whole-body healing systems. It was developed more than 5,000 years ago in
India.

Ayurveda is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance
between the mind, body, spirit, and environment. The main goal of Ayurvedic medicine is to
promote good health and prevent, not fight, disease. But treatments may be geared toward
specific health problems.

In allopathy, they don’t have a permanent cure for all diseases such as cancer, kidney
chronic disease, stones, etc. but Ayurveda has a cure for all diseases from fever to chronic
kidney disease.

Allopathic medicines have side effects on other organs of the body i.e. if you are taking
medicine for fever and these medicines can harm the liver, lungs, or other crucial organs of the
body but Ayurvedic medicines don't have any side effects to any organ of the body. Another
difference between allopathic and Ayurvedic medicines is that if one is taking allopathic
medicine continuously then his body will become habitual of it but one cannot become habitual

of Ayurvedic medicines if taking from the long period of time also.

1
MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALLOPATHY AND AYURVEDIC:
Allopathic and Ayurvedic medicines is that allopathic is not a holistic approach to
treatment. Allopathic medicines only focus on a part that is infected or affected by any foreign
substance. Allopathic medicines do not give a permanent treatment to the cure, it just works on
the symptoms and gives temporary relief.

On the other hand, Ayurvedic medicine is of a holistic approach to the treatment.

Ayurvedic medicines use only natural Herbs and its medicine manufacturing and give a
permanent solution by focusing on the root cause of the disease Ayurvedic medicine focuses
on the three doses of our body.

This medical system, which was established in the early 19th century, is wholly
founded on experiments. While figuring out is Ayurveda better than the
allopathy system, Allopathy is a comprehensive medical system with a broad
hierarchy of physicians, surgeons, nurses, pharmaceuticals, therapists, and
paramedical staff that is descended from western civilization. Together, they make up
a hospital system's body. The most extreme method is surgery, which is supported by
medications and requires ongoing therapy.

On the other hand, Acharya Sushruta, the father of surgery in the world,
discovered Ayurveda, the science of aging, and the ancient history of medicine. Before
we could ever imagine a life with abundant resources, they were born about the 7th
century BC. He developed the wonderful idea of surgery during that period, which
gave the medical system its future.

The ancient science of Ayurveda offers a very rational and scientific approach
to health and well-being. However, because it is an obsolete technique, healing from
ailments will take patience, accuracy, and constancy. The human body lives longer and
has an elevated quality of life thanks to a holistic approach to health treatment.

 BASIC DEFINITIONS

2.1 DEFINITION OF STATISTICS

Statistics is the form of mathematics that involves collecting, analysing, interpreting
and presenting a data set. In other words, it involves gathering, evaluating and translating data
into a mathematical form. In business world, statistics is used for decision making in various
sector.

2.2 TYPES OF STATISTICS:

1) Descriptive Statistics

2) Inferential Statistics

2.2.1 DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS:

Descriptive statistics are brief descriptive coefficients that summarize a given data set,
which can be either a representation of the entire or a sample of a population. Descriptive
statistics are broken down into measures of central tendency and measures of variability
(spread). Measures of central tendency include the mean, median, and mode, while measures
of variability standard deviation, variance, the minimum and maximum variables, and the

kurtosis and skewness.

2.2.2 INFERENTIAL STATISTICS:

Descriptive statistics describes data (for example, a chart or graph) and inferential
statistics allows you to make predictions (“inferences”) from that data. With inferential
statistics, you take data a population.

For example, you might stand in a mall and ask a sample of 100 people if they like shopping
at Sears. You could make a bar chart of yes or no answers (that would be descriptive statistics)
or you could use your research 17 (and inferential statistics) to reason that around 75-80% of
the population (all shoppers in all malls) like shopping at Sears. There are two main areas of
inferential statistics:

4
 ➢ Estimating parameters: This means taking a statistic from your sample data (for
example the sample mean) and using it to say something about a population parameter
(i.e., the population mean).
➢ Hypothesis tests: This is where you can use sample data to answer research
questions. For example, you might be interested in knowing if a new cancer drug is
effective. Or if breakfast helps children perform better in schools.

2.3 DATA AND THEIR TYPES

Data can be defined as a systematic record of a particular quantity. It is the different
values of that quantity represented together in a set. It is a collection of facts and figures to be
used for a specific purpose such as a survey or analysis. When arranged in an organized form,
can be called information. The source of data (primary data, secondary data) is also an
important factor.

2.3.1 TYPES OF DATA

Data may be qualitative or quantitative. Once you know the difference between them,
you can know how to use them.

❖ Qualitative Data:
They represent some characteristics or attributes. They depict descriptions that may
be 18 observed but cannot be computed or calculated. For example, data on attributes
such as intelligence, honesty, wisdom, cleanliness, and creativity collected using the
students of your class a sample would be classified as qualitative. They are more

exploratory than conclusive in nature.

❖ Quantitative Data:
These can be measured and not simply observed. They can be numerically
represented and calculations can be performed on them. For example, data on the
number of students playing different sports from your class gives an estimate of how
many of the total students play which sport. This information is numerical and can be

classified as quantitative.

5
2.4 TYPES IN DATA COLLECTION
• Primary data
• Secondary data

2.4.1 PRIMARY DATA AND SECONDARY DATA

Primary data is data that is collected by a researcher from first-hand sources, using
methods like surveys, interviews, or experiments. It is collected with the research project in
mind, directly from primary sources. The term is used in contrast with the term secondary data.

Secondary data is data gathered from studies, surveys, or experiments that have been
run by other people or for another research.

2.5 CHARTS AND GRAPHS

A graph or chart or diagram is a diagrammatical illustration of a set of data. If the graph
is uploaded as an image file, it can be placed within articles just like any other image. Graphs
must be accurate and convey information efficiently. They should be viewable at different
computer screen resolutions. Ideally, graphs will also be aesthetically pleasing.

2.6 Z- TEST

A Z-test is a statistics test to determine whether two population means are different
when the variances are known and the sample size is large. It can be hypotheses in which the
Z-test follows a normal distribution.

2.6.1 ONE-SAMPLE Z-TEST

One-sample Z-test is used to test whether a population parameter is significantly
different from some hypothesized value.

 CONCLUSION

In this project, we can analyse the feedback of Allopathy and Ayurvedic medicines by
using the method in statistics called Z - test. Z-test is a test that we can measure how
the expectations compared to actual observed data. We can conclude that the
comparisons between calculated value and tabulated value, there is alternative
hypothesis is accepted. So, Awareness of the Ayurvedic medicine is still needed to
peoples.
